This easy crumble recipe will transform your camping trips
Apple crumble, on the campfire – surely not? But with a little bit of faith and a lot of tin foil, it’s very do-able (and delicious!)
You will need:
- A roaring campfire
- Roll of tin foil
- Sharp knife
- Small chopping board
Ingredients:
- 220g flour
- 100g butter, plus extra for greasing
- 225g caster sugar
- 2tsp cinnamon
- 100g oats
- 4 apples
Before you go:
• Mix the flour, 1tsp cinnamon and 175g of sugar together in
a mixing bowl. Cube the butter and then add it to the flour.
• Using your fingertips, gently rub the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the oats.
• Pour the crumble topping into a zip lock bag and keep cool until ready to use.
• Put the remaining sugar and cinnamon and mix in a separate zip lock bag.
On the campfire
STEP 1
Get the fire going while slicing the apples. Place in the ziplock bag of sugar and cinnamon. Close the bag and shake until the apples are coated.
STEP 2
Take a sheet of tin foil (about the size of A4 paper) and butter the centre. Lay the slices of ¼ of the apples on the buttered area.
STEP 3
Liberally sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples.
STEP 4
Carefully fold the foil around the crumble to make a sealed package. Wrap with two more layers of foil to prevent the edges from burning.Repeat to make three more packages.
STEP 5
Let the fire reduce to embers and place the foil packages directly onto the campfire, turning occasionally. Use tongs.
STEP 6
After 15-20 minutes remove the crumble from the fire, wait for the foil to cool for a few minutes, then open up and tuck in!
